DMG,

I promise to become more active, it is just that from Tuesday to last night, I was in Chicago for a convention for my work. I posted, so I am fine.

I finished sooner than I thought I would...

Name: Mathieu Schwarzrock
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Year: 7th
View: Hates Muggles and Muggle borns with a passion
Parentage: Pureblood for 20 generations (and proud of it)
House:
Height: 6'2"
Eye Color: steel grey
Hair Color: black
Appearance: well built, but cold and distant
Traits: Cold, unfeeling, smart, but not a braggart
Classes: All mandatory (all advanced), Magical Compression, would like to test into Curses
Biography: He lives in London and and was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. He's always had the best of everything and always gets his way. He didn't exactly socialize until Exeter, so he has a small group of "colleagues," not friends. His family finally struck it rich with his grandfather, who found magical creatures through to be extinct in France and then continued researching them while his wife held a comfortable job at the Ministry in London. Their daughters also worked in the Ministry with high level jobs. Mathieu is expected to do something of the same or continue his Grandfather's research.


Also, when I say golden in his bio, I don't mean silver, I do mean gold.

Accepted.

If someone is your secondary character, you can just place them in a house so long as they fit. Like I assume this guy is going to be a Draco.

Thanks, and you're spot on. I kinda hoped he could be an "Anti-Tobias" of sorts, hence all the isolation and coldness (for utter lack of another way to describe him).

Funny thing, by the way; I met my first real life person named Tobias over the weekend.

Hmm... I am gonna go with it's nothing.

I don't know weather to call that creepy, coincidence, fate, or just plain awkward. I think I'll go with coincidence and awkward on this one.

I vote for giving up on them. Also, I would hope for a couple other people to jump on this bandwagon too (because it's REALLY hard to do on one's own), but what about a few of us that are posting, creating a secondary character to take the place of the runaway Dracos?

I could do that, but I need a little time..

I could do that, but I need a little time..

Time doesn't seem to be much of an obstacle for us. Let's just hope that we don't end up as the only two Dracos.

I'm not sure if I could do a Draco and not be in some strange situations, since my other character is a non-magical blood person...I'd have to completely avoid contact with her to avoid swaying outcomes.

This is true. However, I am now posting as an Emantrico who doesn't mind Muggleborns as well as a Draco who despises them as well as their parents. It's not so bad as long as you can keep things separate.

You also don't have to actually make a character, you can kind of just mention an NPC Draco and use him a bit in different circumstances if needed.

I hope to hear back from more people, I find it strange and annoying when people ignore their TGs.

Bueno!

I think we all have - bummer.

Post coming up...sorry been kind of busy this last week - Post up; now to post in the test. - Done and done ^_^

@DZR: Jinxing & Defensive Magics

@Ani: Seems like you wrote that when you were tired. :p Anyhow, it's Jinxing & Defensive Magics, though I suppose you could shorten the name in casual talk.

Not that I'm complaining, but doesn't it seem a bit of a paradox to be in a class that teaches both OFFENSIVE jinxing and DEFENSIVE magics? Just wondering.

You may see it that way. But someone else may see it to be perfectly fitting.

It essentially teaches them both sides at once so they know how they relate.

This is true, I just thought I'd ask.

Oh hooray! Now just one question, basic or advanced classes?

Erm...uh, um..... I'll pick...Advanced Classes

Erm...uh, um..... I'll pick...Advanced Classes

See you in class then. I just thought I'd ask since it wasn't filled in.

Bonus points to whoever can figure out the one thing my characters have in common...

(besides their year and age)

Easy... their initials are both AQS.

Easy... their initials are both AQS.

See, I managed to miss that. I tend to read too much into things and I was thinking the fact that they both have prominent fathers (even if they're well known for different reasons).

HOORAY!! You win....a smiley!

Nah, not shallow, just more observant of the details that I frequently miss. If I wanted to call you shallow I would just "inform" you that I could stand in a puddle of you and not get my feet wet. :p

Whats GJ?

Whats GJ?

Good question. Or maybe it's not what but who. Either way, I stand by my statement that it's a good question.

Neo, is Yuri in basic Jinxing & Defensive magic? If he's in the advanced class you should probably change your post because that's the class taking place right now.

I am going to be not very active from tomorrow until Saturday morning just to let you know DMG, my school work is increasing. I am trying to stay active in this RP, but I know for sure Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday I am active.

GJ = Good Job.

@Cal: K

@Syl: I think he said Yuri is in Potions...

I was just checking, that's all. And thanks for the clarification (the whole GJ thing).

Um, is it too late to join this?

Not at all. Hop on in.

Alright. I'll have a bio up sometime tommorrow.

Accepted.

Be sure to read all of the material and post in the necessary threads. Cheers.

OOC: Sorry guys I have gotten a little behind in the ball game.....My character ought to get expelled for not attending classes.....if you get my drift......

A) Do not post OOC comments in my IC Threads.
B) We are in the first class of the year, so I don't think so...
C) If you want to quit and drop out, be a man and say so

Accepted.

Be sure to read all of the material and post in the necessary threads. Cheers.
I've done my homework ;)
So do I start in the Sorting Clock thread? Or the "Platform 9 and 3/4"?

You should probably do both, but it's not "Platform 9 and 3/4" here. Actually, we don't know the platform number (unless I missed it somewhere, quite possible). It's the Strayt Way & Seven Kings Station (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=537148) thread. You can't really post in the Main IC thread until you're sorted (it complicates things). Also, we're supposed to be on the train in the Strayt Way thread but NOBODY has posted in quite some time (hint hint to everyone).

Hence the quotation marks. So Seven Kings then Sorting. Got it.

Yeah, the Strayt Way and Seven Kings Station thread was more of a pre-IC thread so people could post while there was nothing else going on. It's not a big deal now. But you can definitely post in the rest of them (including the Main IC: Exeter Academy so long as you don't make any reference to your house until after the sorting is done).

Well, DMG, if you'd stick around a little longer, I will have answers to the Sorting Clock's Questions.

Umm are Advanced classes the same as basic?

We'll see... I may be on a little longer, may not be. Worst case scenario is late tomorrow night you get your house.

...

Is that a stupid question, or is it just me?

Of course they are not the same.

...

No, I said it wrong...

Like in what I assume is the basic class, they are jinxing each other.

Adrianne and Victor are in the Advanced class, is the same thing going on there? Or are these in completely different locations?

Because we already have established that we arent split up the classes by year. Just making sure I suddenly got confused as hell...stupid 8 am class

You still aren't making much sense.

There is no basic Jinxing & Defensive Magic class at the moment....

So adrianne, victor, tobias, samantha and co. are all in the SAME classroom as of now.

Im sorry, it's been a LOOOOOOONG ass day. I just wanna cry:(

There are a few people in other classes (like Yuri in Potions) but essentially, yes.

Ummm... yeah. You understand HP right? There is only one professor per subject, thus only one class of that subject at a time. For RPing reasons - both ease and more fun - everyone gets to be in the same advanced class (if they are taking that class and are in the advanced version).

OO, see i was about to post...but then i started wondering if everyone was in the same class. I checked and some (such as myself) had "advanced" next to Jinxing, others did not. I then started getting confused and upset and developed a heroin habit.

True story...except for the heroin. That shits bad for you...I'm meth alll the way:p:p

People in other classes, if you want something to happen you are going to have to control your Profs.

Alternatively, you can just make a post saying what happened or what your character did all of class at the end.

Um, ya, this may seem a little weird because in about an hour and a half I won't be able to, but POST PEOPLE POST!!!
I'll be gone to the football game (homecoming) and then the dance afterward, and then my family has stuff planned tomorrow, so I probably won't post till tomorrow afternoon or evening.

Aye, this is a bad weekend for me, but I hope everyone else will continue to post and keep this going...

Hi guys, I'm sorry I didn't ever post when I said I would. I think I'm going to have to bow out of this game...it seems fun but I don't think I'm really up to it. I will feel better for like a day and then I will be sick again and I just don't feel like writing much. I might have lupus; I don't know for sure yet. Anyway, it was fun making a character and I'm sorry I didn't get to play her- I had a lot of plans for her and for living vicariously through her, but oh well, it's too exhausting to try to write it all out, but thank you all for the brief time that we did share together in this game. hugs.

DMG forgot about me. :(
Or maybe he's too busy.

Aye, this is a bad weekend for me, but I hope everyone else will continue to post and keep this going...

We understand.

DMG forgot about me. :(
Or maybe he's too busy.

Please check the quote above. I doubt he forgot. DMG doesn't seem the kind of person that would do that.

All he told me was that the worse case senerio was for him to respond last night. Ah well. I've had weekends like that. Hope the coming week is better for him.

It should be. Ah well, the least you can do is try to post in the main IC thread without mentioning house to anyone. It'll be something to do at least.

I've got other threads going. I can wait.

Done.

Xiscapia, did I read your post right? A 5 foot wand? Or am I seeing things and making a fool of myself (which is quite possible)?

Indeed... he said 5'0.

Xiscapia, did I read your post right? A 5 foot wand? Or am I seeing things and making a fool of myself (which is quite possible)?

Yeah, maybe Xiscapia made a mistake and meant 5 inches?

Indeed... he said 5'0.

Indeed as in I'm right or indeed as in I read it wrong?

Indeed as in I'm right or indeed as in I read it wrong?

Indeed you are right. 5'0 = five feet.

And five inches would be extreme on the other end of the spectrum.

Sorry, it's late. I didn't mean 5 foot. It's actually about 1 foot and 3 inchs long. I'll fix it.

Indeed you are right. 5'0 = five feet.

And five inches would be extreme on the other end of the spectrum.

Well, 5 feet and you'll poke someone's eye out, 5 inches and it'll barely get past the end of your hand. Lol

Sorry, it's late. I didn't mean 5 foot. It's actually about 1 foot and 3 inchs long. I'll fix it.

15 inches, we can work with that. And it's alright, we all make mistakes. I was just checking.

15 inches is quite long for a wand... though I'm not saying you can't use it.

15 inches is quite long for a wand... though I'm not saying you can't use it.

Hey, it's better than 5 feet! And besides, it wasn't entirely uncommon to see a longer wand in the books. Maybe not that long, but fairly long.

Foxfire got up, gathering his stuff. Should have skipped the stupid class entirely. He thought to himself. He checked her schedule. Unknown Magic Studies, second period. Of course, he couldn't actually start the class yet. He had to pass the test-in. He hurried there, not wanting to be late and get another detention.

Read how scheduling works. Mandatories are in the morning, optionals are in the afternoon. And testing takes place in the other thread.

Is it just me, or did things get really, really quiet?

Is it just me, or did things get really, really quiet?

Indeed. School will do that to me.

Sorry about that, but school is a bitch, il ltry and post more...

Looks interesting, I might join.

Looks interesting, I might join.

Hop in.

I think I can see a layer of dust on this thread. Does it even still have a pulse?

Sorry, I am in the middle of Apps right now.

I will try to post later tomorrow, school and my Rock Guitar classes have been piling up on me..

Long weekend coming up so posting should be good. On the other hand, it's also Apps weekend and I may be traveling. Stay tuned.

Hold up, long weekend!? That's not fair! I wouldn't be surprised (now that I looked up what monday actually is) if my school didn't have another stupid bomb threat since others are getting out. It never fails, whenever there are a lot of places that are off and we have school, we end up with something stupid like this.

Aye, Monday off for Columbus Day (though my school refuses to acknowledge it as such) and then Tuesday of for Senior Travel Day.

Well this just *EXPLICATIVE* blows. Have fun while I sit through algebra, speech, chemistry, and the most dreaded of all, French. Oh, and the hour and a half wait while the school gets searched for the inevitable nonexistent bomb.

Has there ever actually been any kind of explosive in any school anywhere that came from a bomb threat? Oh, and I feel your pain. I've got a @#$% of work coming up next week, including several essays and big tests.

I should definitely be able to get some posts up despite my work... I don't think I am going to go away at all.

Has there ever actually been any kind of explosive in any school anywhere that came from a bomb threat? Oh, and I feel your pain. I've got a @#$% of work coming up next week, including several essays and big tests.

I would doubt it. But starting about three years ago, we got a bomb threat on presidents day (a day when the elementary school had no school) so the high school went there and had class. From there, we had another that same day, another one on the day we were supposed to have off but didn't because it was a make up day for missing three hours of classes from the first one, then two more the next year, then two last year, and so far none this year. It's really annoying because we get told to come to the large gym and if we leave our bags in a classroom they get searched too.

So don't leave your bags?

So don't leave your bags?

As long as you don't have anything you don't want a cop to see, you'll be just fine. There are a couple girls that got rather upset though, for reasons I'll let you figure out for yourself. And I'm not talking about the ones with about three packs of cigarets with them.

Ah, well... whatever. I have posted... so you all need to get posting now.

Sorry everyone my week has been f*cked up! Woman troubles...

I'll try to post when I can

If it's not school/work, it's got to be something.

If it's not school/work, it's got to be something.

*nods* It's always something. Well, I hope we can get a few other people to post, it's not like there's only 5 of us. Or is that what it boiled down to?

Unfortunately... that's what it is boiling down to - no fun.

Then do I have permission to swear loudly? :headbang:

HAPPY DAY!!!!!!!

Swear?

I choose not to, at least not in type. I just liked knowing I had the option. :D Ya, I'm weird like that.

I think this wonderful thread is dying a slow death. Possibly from LACK OF POSTING.

Sigh... I think so.

I guess I'll try again over the summer (a year from now)...

Dead.

I said it's dying, not completely dead. Neo Aztec, Calzorinstan, you and myslef are still posting. I think.

Yes... four people of nearly twenty-five that originally signed up. This is a school thread and as such requires many people, unfortunately.

You guys can feel free to carry on, but I don't think it'll be much fun.

That's depressing. This had potential too...

Ah well. It could have been fun...I guess I can delete all WoM-related threads. *sniff* *tear rolls down cheek*

Ah well. It could have been fun...I guess I can delete all WoM-related threads. *sniff* *tear rolls down cheek*

leave the IC and OOC, they're still going. At least for now. I predict that they won't make it to the end of the week unless we really push them though.

And I hate pushing threads over and over. You begin to post in order to push them rather than to have fun RPing.

Agreed. Should I read the Last Rites?

I already have.

Works for me.
